Film shown on cinemas can be looted with camcorder

Film shown on cinemas can be looted with camcorder
"For more than a year, I was not able to go to a movie house. It was only in January 2012 that I was able to get into a movie house again when a friend invited me to see the premiere night of a movie. Before the movie started, a funny advertisement regarding the unauthorized recording of the movie was shown. It makes me wonder what law was being violated as advertised in the movie house. Please enlighten me regarding it. Thank you and best regards..bb_wrapper cursor: default margin:0 box-sizing: content-box .bb_wrapper div margin:0 .bb_wrapper .bb-layer top:0 left:0 width:100% height:100% pointer-events:none !important overflow:hidden .bb_wrapper .bb-layer .bb-head, .bb_wrapper .bb-layer .bb-head video width:100% height: 100% .bb_wrapper video::-webkit-media-controls-start-playback-button display: none -webkit-appearance: none .bb_wrapper audio::-webkit-media-controls-start-playback-button display: none -webkit-appearance: none .bb_wrapper .bb-fitme pointer-events:none !important .bb_wrapper .bb-fitme.bb-poster-layer width:100%height:100%.bb_wrapper .bb-head-html5-video videomax-width:none !importantmax-height:none !important #bb-tw-wf5d58aac-560f-4c9d-8524-95e7cb987cbe .bb-twie-mouseover visibility:hidden position:absolute width:100% height:100% z-index:2 pointer-events:none !important #bb-tw-wf5d58aac-560f-4c9d-8524-95e7cb987cbe .bb-head pointer-events:none !important #bb-tw-wf5d58aac-560f-4c9d-8524-95e7cb987cbe.bb-twie-hover .bb-twie-mousedown visibility:hidden #bb-tw-wf5d58aac-560f-4c9d-8524-95e7cb987cbe.bb-twie-hover .bb-twie-mouseover visibility:inherit #bb-tw-wf5d58aac-560f-4c9d-8524-95e7cb987cbe.bb-twie-hover .bb-head img visibility:hidden .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget pointer-events: auto !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget:focus outline: 0 .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena input:focus outline: 0 !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena *:focus outline: 0 !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget.bb_timelineappwidget pointer-events: none !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget pointer-events: auto !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget:focus outline: 0 .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena input:focus outline: 0 !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena *:focus outline: 0 !important .bb-timeline-layer .bb-arena .bb_timelinewidget.bb_timelineappwidget pointer-events: none !important   .bb-commercial-layer .bb-cta-layer .bb-dimmed background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4) transition: background 0.3s linear .bb-commercial-layer .bb-cta-layer .bb-opaque background: rgba(0,0,0,1) transition: background 0.3s linear LEARN MOREBlue Billywig Video PlayerConcerned Moviegoer Dear Concerned Moviegoer,The law that is being violated if there is an unauthorized recording of a movie while inside a movie house or a cinema is Republic Act (RA) No. 10088, otherwise known as the “Anti-Camcording Act of 2010.” [object Module][object Module](function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m)i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=ri[r]=i[r]function()(i[r].q=i[r].q[]).push(arguments),i[r].l=1*new Date()a=s.createElement(o),m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0]a.async=1a.src=gm.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m))(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga')World's 'third largest' diamond found in Botswana.cls-1isolation:isolate.cls-2opacity:0.75mix-blend-mode:multiply.cls-3fill:#fffShareCOPY.cls-1fill:#999 Sorry We are unable to load your video .cls-1isolation:isolate.cls-2opacity:0.75mix-blend-mode:multiply.cls-3fill:#fff.cls-1isolation:isolate.cls-2opacity:0.75mix-blend-mode:multiply.cls-3fill:#fff.cls-dccisolation:isolate.cls-dcc2mix-blend-mode:multiplyopacity:0.75.cls-dcc3fill:nonestroke:#fffstroke-miterlimit:10stroke-width:3px.cls-dcc4fill:#fff Captions .cls-1isolation:isolate.cls-2opacity:0.75mix-blend-mode:multiply.cls-3fill:#fff.cls-1isolation:isolate.cls-2opacity:0.75mix-blend-mode:multiply.cls-3fill:#fff0:00/0:00.ivs-overlay-playlistitem.active background-color: #c3251d .ivs-overlay-playlistitem:hover outline: 1px solid #c3251d .ivs-sdk-wrappersection.ivs-sdk-wrapperbottom.ivs-overlay-carouselhorz.ivs-overlay-carouselcontainer background-color: #ccc button.material-icons.ivs-overlay-icon.ivs-overlay-carouselnext, button.material-icons.ivs-overlay-icon.ivs-overlay-carouselprev color: #c3251d ""@context"":""https://schema.org"",""@type"":""VideoObject"",""name"":""World's 'third largest' diamond found in Botswana"",""description"":""World's 'third largest' diamond found in Botswana"",""thumbnailUrl"":""https://ivx-image.ivideosmart.com/serve/image/video/1710195?width=300"",""duration"":""PT61S"",""uploadDate"":""2021-06-20T06:15:14.000Z"" R.A.
